Classic Brioche Recipe
Instructions
- Combine milk, yeast, and 1 lb (450g) of the flour. Rest until it has doubled in size (1-2 hours). Add the flour, sugar, salt, and eggs. Mix on medium speed until the dough stops sticking to the sides of the bowl. Add pieces of the softened butter in stages.
- Cover and place dough in the refrigerator overnight to relax the gluten and retard the yeast (optional -- you can skip this step).
- Cut into 2 oz. (57g) pieces and roll. Allow to proof 1.5 hours.
- Brush with an egg wash and bake at 400'F (200'C) for 15-20 minutes for rolls or about 50 minutes for loaves.
